Say this to the waiter (Italian)
Potete confermare che usate spaghetti di zucchine, non pasta? E che il pesto è senza zuccheri aggiunti o oli vegetali economici?
Please confirm zucchini noodles, not pasta. And that the pesto has no added sugar or cheap vegetable oils.
Watch out for
The most significant risk is being served actual pasta. Pre-made pesto may contain sugar or non-keto oils. Some restaurants might add flour as a binder to sauces.
